Ben pulled a Mir... He is as tough as they come, but I still think Schaub will out point him.

I'm sure a lot of people have these winners... I veered away from underdogs on this card but went with some slightly unconventional methods of victory.

Rothwell looks leaner but he is still 263 - so just added muscle.  80" reach - first time Schaub has faught with a reach defiicit?
